What languages do you speak/understand?

Just curious, since CPF is such an international community.

I am fluent in Spanish and English. I can also can also understand written and oral Portuguese (Brazilian); I wouldn't say I speak Portuguese, but I didn't have a hard time communicating while in Brazil.

I can also understand basic written French and Italian. Lost my highschool-level French over the years, pity. Never got past the "Igh drinke beir" (not even sure I spelled it right :laughing in German.

Languages I'd really like to speak fluently are Quichua, Portuguese, and French (in no particular order).

Edit to add: How'd you learn any extra languages? Parents, relatives, self-taugh, exchange students, partner, etc.? If you took any classes, any programs you'd recommend?

English is my native language and the only one I'm fluent in.

I've been picking up Portuguese over the years with moderate success. I can communicate well one on one with Brazilians but have trouble trying to follow a conversation among Brazilians. My vocabulary is very basic but I have the grammar and pronunciation down pretty well. The latter two are pretty difficult for an English speaker to pick up.

I learned basic German years ago when I was planning to visit my parents there. It seemed to me to be *much* easier to pick up than any of the Romance languages.

I speak Telly Tubbie ...top that:nana:

Fluent in English. Functional in French.

English but that depends on what side of the Mason-Dixon Line you fall on "Y'all Hear, I'm still trying to get a handle on CFP'ese that's a tuff one for me it changes daily

I can also manage small conversations in German and Spanish.

I am fluent in English, Commodore BASIC V2, and 6502 assembly language.
I haven't written a computer program in assembly in a long time though, so I might be a bit rusty.
But I know what the instructions LDX, STX, SEI, and ROR mean and what they're used for. :thumbsup:

When you type SYS2048, what does it do?
HINT: If you know what this little program does, you're like me and you've spent way too much time on a Commodore 64 or a C=128 in C=64 mode.

I'd like to say that I'm fluent in the language of love, but since I'm still single, that's debatable!! I guess I'll have to stick with English, and the pocito de espanol.

Indigenous languages are amazing! I wish I could learn a few of them myself.

I met a Park Ranger at Kruger (South Africa) who spoke 6 African languages, French, and Portuguese, but no English. There was a lot of :huh2:, trying to have a conversation with him in my choppy Brazilian Portuguese.

Sway, I do miss y'all's Suhthern twang! Can't say the same 'bout grits, though :green: :laughing:

Could I add to my question, how'd you learn any extra languages? Parents, relatives, self-taugh, exchange students, partner, etc.?

English and Chinese (Cantonese) I took Spanish in High School as well but I'm not that good at it. I do understand a little bit though
